I am indeed an Aquarian - 21st of Jan :rotfl::rotfl: I'm also an "Earth Horse" which makes my logical organisational skills even more natural...and scary :rotfl:
I knew it! DD is an Aquarian and used to 'file' as a tot and she has written her xmas shoppping list and is list mad and she is the one who sets her alarm on my non work days. She is scarily organised...she TOLD ME SHE WAS STOPPING WEARING NAPPIES at night! (at 2 and three quarters...)
when you posted that I JUST KNEW you had to be a January babe!
my DD was a little stranger when she arrived - I took ages to 'know' her though I loved her from the minute she was laid on my shoulder (section) unlike DS whom I knew from the outset... although we are all Air signs...2 Librans and an Aquarian...

and you have the temerity to have a go at ME (and Tag) for having matching pegs?:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
s'not our fault they sell 'em in bags of one colour.
My mugs (gloat) on my 8 mug tree are (ahem) MISMATCHED
NOOOOOOOOOO! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Mine are all pretty much missmatched too (well, apart from the best ones for visitors...;) ) but they still have to go away properly so that they get used in the right order... see logic in it (somewhere), same with plates, they just pile them up as they get them out of the washer - I make them put big ones on the bottom and work upwards - again logic... No logic in what colour pegs have to be??? can't see the problem???
